Hey Guys, I have an apology to make. I have been reading back over the story and I have realised a few little mistakes I am really sorry if it made the story hard to follow. When I started writing other stories at the same time and reading other peoples fanficts little details slip my mind. SORRY! XXX Shar-Lyn

Here is the next chapter.

Chapter 14- Meeting the Family pt 1

After what seems like hours sitting holding our precious girls until they dosed off, gently putting them back in there little beds. I can tell by looking at Marissa she is exhausted.

"I'm just gonna close my eyes for a little while, okay?""

Gently leaning over an kissing her I whisper

"Sweet dreams"

"Ryan?"

"Yes?"

"Will you hold me until I fall asleep?"

As I look into her eyes I see something that I have never seen before. A look of terror but at the same time certainty. I nod and she moves over in the bed so there is room for me. As she snuggles into my arms I am still very conscious that she is sore. As she starts to fall asleep I kiss her head gently playing with her hair. I hear her whisper

"I love you Ryan"

"Thank you"

I hear her laugh as she falls asleep. I lay there continuing to stroke her hair. I too dose off.

I wake up to Autumn crying. I quickly realise that Ryan isn't next to me anymore and a wave of terror washes over me. As I sit here on the bed cradling her gently Delilah too starts to cry. Where is Ryan? I am not ready for this. As I get up off the bed holding Autumn I bend down and pick up Delilah too. I hold them as I take a seat in the corner of the room. I sit rocking them but they continue to cry. I don't know what to do with them? Sitting for a minute I realise they must be hungry. Just as I realise a nurse walks in.

"Time for breakfast"

I begin

"um, what do I do with them?"

The nurse smiles back

"here pass Delilah to me while you get set up with Autumn then I'll show you what to do"

Passing Delilah over to her she passes me one of the bottles she had bought in with her. Like I had done it a thousand times Autumn begins to suckle. I smile up at the nurse. By this time she has gotten Delilah to settle down while I feed Autumn.

"hey um, do you know where my husband is"

"yes, he said that her went home to get you some clothes and bring back little outfits for the girls."

"Thank you"

Just as I say that Ryan walks into the room. His face lights up as he sees me, my heart starts to race as he bends down kissing me tenderly. Followed by him kissing the girls.

"How are daddy's little girls? Are you being good for mommy?"

I look up at him and smile. He places the bag he bought with him on the floor and walks over to the nurse.

"I bought some fresh clothes from home for you and the girls"

"thank you Ry"

"Delilah do you need daddy to feed you? I think you might"

The nurse hands her over to him along with the bottle. As he sits on the bed he is glowing. I watch as he gently holds her in all the right places supporting her head and her little body so she feels safe. She too begins to suckle.

"um, my mom and dad and your mom, Seth and Summer will be here in about half and hour"

I nod. By this time Autumn has finished breakfast and has fallen asleep. As I gently place her in her bed is ask

"um Ry, I am going to have a shower and get changed"

"k, darling"

As I grab my clothes and walk to the bathroom I take one look at Ryan sitting there holding Delilah, he looks so perfect. He sits there his eyes not leaving her once. Like if he takes him eyes off her she night run away. I smile, he looks so perfect with her and I love him more with every second that passes.
